Harpreet Brar from Punjab Kings was named Man of the Match for his incredible bowling. He said in the post-match interview, “ When we came to the ground we saw it was sporty for spinners. So I was a little happy. In my mind I was happy that we got this wicket, it’s good opportunity, and we needed to finish well. Spinners have been taken for runs in this season, and felt that I wanted to do well on this track. I just think that, what my area is, I should bowl there and should be calm in pressure situations. Also, my focus is to work on my skill set. (Aiden Markram Wicket) Felt very good, the ball spinned, and there was a bounce. I was seeing that he was playing on the back foot and wanted to draw him forward. When a spinner gets a wicket like this it’s a very happy feeling. I’m very happy for Arshdeep that he will play for the country. That’s what we always aim for, the ultimate aim is to play for your country. I will look to work on my skills but first I will go spend time with my family now.”
Mayank Agarwal, the winning captain from Punjab Kings, stated in the post-match presentation, “It’s going to be sore(Ribs). Probably will go for x-ray, it’ll be sore for a while. He (Umran) came out in a hurry so I asked him if he’s wearing his protective gear properly cause he shouldn’t get hurt. There are a lot of positives, the way Livingstone batted, the brand of cricket we played. Shikhar’s been consistent over the years, Bairstow, Arsh put his hand up. We’ve had a lot of players who’ve stepped up and played well. With the brand of cricket we played, there are going to be times it won’t come off, and we won’t look good. We couldn’t stitch back-to-back wins, and that’s something we’ve spoken about. As a batting unit, we lost wickets in a cluster. We have been a very positive unit. Lot of it will discuss now after the IPL. At the toss I said, we’re here we mean business. We’ll play to the best of our abilities.”
